This site is organized, clean, visually interesting and interactive. The home page uses four pictures to represent different categories. These simple pictures act as nice textures and juxtapose one another nicely. Each category opens with  java script or something similar to add movement with the picture boxes which was very cool was to display and organize the information and pictures. The pictures on the sight were professional, clear, crisp and nice compositions.

I felt this sites home page was interesting with the movement of the pictures but I did not like the logo. As I navigated through the pages I found not all pages had a navigation bar or a way back to the home page. I found that some of the pages were difficult to read black type on a dark grey background. I also think that the navigation bar could have a bit more flare along with links other than having a blue link on a dark grey background. This also made the links difficult to read. I felt the site was not very visually interesting.

Studio MPLS Website

This site was easily navigated and was visually interesting from colorful artwork and pictures to scrolling banners. They had some nice logo design and some fairly large clients' work on their site. I especially liked the feature in the section that displayed their work where the viewer could choose a category of work like illustrations or product design and the selections that were not included in the refined search would grey out. A nice site for a design firm.

Water Equipment Technology Website

There was not much I liked about this website from an aesthetic point of view. It did have easy navigation and the navigation bar stayed consistent between pages and everything necessary was available like contact info and services. Most of the images used throughout the site loaded slowly and were distorted and stretched. There was no color scheme to add cohesion throughout the site and a lot of the type was in bright colors which made it difficult to read.

My opinion:

Chester Tourist Website

This site was a bit difficult to read with white text on a black background throughout the entire site. After a while it was straining on the eyes. The site could be more consistent in page layout and where the page appears in the browser. Sometime the page is centered and other pages are justified left. It seemed as though there was a lot of information and page links on this site as would be expected from a tourism site. I feel that the page layout could be more consistent with one another and use more of a grid system in the layout. I also noticed a fair amount of skewed and distorted pictures that were unappealing.

Oli Lisher Website

This site is an online portfolio. Designer displays his work in a neat organized fashion. I like the use of symbols throughout the site. I like the color scheme, it is a subtle contrast and not overpowering. All of the necessary information is located in the navigation bar to check out his work and to contact him as well as follow him on social media.
